1773 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1774 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1775 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1776 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1777 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1778 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1779 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1780 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1781 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1816 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1817 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1818 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1819 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1820 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1821
1822 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1823 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1824 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1825 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1826 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1827

1829 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1833 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1834 grateful.
